Chiropractic Care for Athletes, Active Adults, and Anyone Tired of Living in Pain

At Recharge Sports Injury Center, care is built around one goal: helping you move better, recover fully, and get back to the life you want to live.

Dr. Bruce Short works with a wide range of patients across Ashburn and Northern Virginia. While many come in for sports-related injuries, the practice is designed to support anyone dealing with pain, limited mobility, or unresolved conditions.

Athletes

A large portion of patients are athletes, including high school competitors, adult recreational athletes, and high-level performers.

Dr. Short has experience working with athletes across many sports, including soccer, track, gymnastics, and more. He has also treated professional and elite athletes such as NFL players, competitive bodybuilders, and endurance athletes.

Treatment focuses on both recovery and performance, helping athletes heal from injury and return to play safely.

People with Active Lifestyles

Not every patient is a competitive athlete, but many live active lifestyles. This includes people who exercise regularly, go to the gym, run, or participate in fitness classes.

These patients often deal with overuse injuries, muscle tightness, or joint pain that gets in the way of the routines they love.

Care is designed to relieve pain while improving movement, strength, and flexibility to help prevent future injuries.

Everyday Pain and Chronic Conditions

Many patients are dealing with pain caused by daily life, including long hours sitting, repetitive movements, or past injuries that never fully healed.

Common issues include neck and back pain, headaches, disc injuries, and joint discomfort.
For these patients, the focus is on identifying the root cause of the problem and creating a plan that leads to lasting relief, not temporary fixes.
